Are you looking for just the LZV100 or the Lenz Set 100? Note the Lenz Set 100 does not include the TR150 (recommended) transformer I have managed to find three Lenz Set 100, the websites claim to have stock, but vastly more than what I paid Sharp Models £325 Rails Of Sheffield £297 EDM Models £296

This is a known issue with the Dapol DCC version
The back to back gauge on the wheels needs to be checked and adjusted
I had this same issue on three of my models

I've soldered my power droppers to the undersides of the rail joiners, not to the rails themselves. I soldered to the rails when I had OO gauge, but it was too easy, even in that gauge, to melt adjacent sleepers when doing so. Solution here is to spread the sleepers away from the area being soldere...

Agreed, the track pins look enormous when used with N gauge track and I made this same mistake on my first layout I have experimented with various methods I agree with : Solder wires to underside of track Locate track to position and drill holes for wiring Big Pin between sleepers to position and st...

Change of livery on East Coast trains
Distinct possibility of different Class 67 liveries

Passenger flows vary by time of day, day of week, and so on Rowdy passengers are very common on later trains at weekends However, you can't really compare a regional train against an inter-city train, the passenger types are typically different Given a choice of travelling between London and Scotlan...

I never saw any on the network when they were around sadly. Late 70's early 80's? Polmadie depot Provincial (ScotRail GSW) pool 11 coaches, enough for two rakes, were painted in 1983, stored from 1986 and withdrawn in 1988 SK-SK-CK-BSK-SK-(SK) They were also used on Stranraer-London and Glasgow-Lon...

So they were a BR crack covering exercise? Replaced by aircon mk2's? No and no There were loads of Mark 1 coaches but sadly most of the Sealink livery coaches had B1 bogies The entire ScotRail fleet was reassessed The GSW was given Mark 1 coaches with Commonwealth bogies (which had been released fr...

That's a really poor and slightly inaccurate item description Yes, they were intended for the loco hauled services between Glasgow and Stranraer, but this was setup by ScotRail (which had just been formed) These Mark 1 coaches were withdrawn after just 2 years use, replaced by other coaches which we...

Yes, ask for the retailer to test a similar item before despatch and arrange exchange

Most service routes have a regular stopping pattern
Culham is completely irregular, and due to the distance between stations can easily be overlooked

Could the OP please advise if they are modelling in OO or N gauge, or are still at the planning stage based on space available Garsdale platforms of 121m are just too short for a 6 car Class 156 This is quite typical where the platforms are based on 5 or 6 coach regional loco hauled sets Typically t...

Garsdale
From the current Network Rail Rules Of The Route
Both Up and Down platforms are 121 metres in length

Cool, thanks! Sorry, one other question. Would a brake van be used? Brake vans ceased on freight trains pretty much in the late 1970s, hence why some carried this livery well into the 1990s However, the only one you might have seen these on in the late 1980s and early 1990s was the Nuclear Flask tr...
